also, a PhD is hard work and should be done because you want to do it, not just because you think it'll help you do something else.

IT doesn't always help to be honest, it depends on the individual and what they are looking for.

The closing date for the NHS clinical science was only this week so there's no way you would hear anything until March at the earliest as none of the labs will receive any applications before that date.

probably none to be honest

I think someone actually at LSE in the admissions department would be abe to help - why don't you just phone them?

This website is called "findaphd" not "findaphdstudent"

Supervisors don't look on here. If you want a PhD go out and find one - there's plenty listed on this site

Shani is right - but there is a big difference between cats and dogs. 1 cat most people will allow, maybe 2. But dogs are a different matter as they smell, especially if they are kept indoors.

Not being funny, but the word Bioinformatics basically describes the course - and I've looked on the website and it goes on and on about computers so not really sure how you managed to misunderstand the course content.

As for a PhD....how did you manage to find this forum but not the website of PhDs? And if you are doing Bioinformatics you will know how to get the best out of a search engine

you should duck left, as we drive on the left hand side of the road

However, it can be difficult as there are so many poles in London and they drive on the right, so going left may not be the best option!

Forget health insurance, who gets their FOOD paid for?

a first or upper second class is 1st or 2i in the UK, not a 2ii.

how long have you been waiting? when was then deadline for applications?

it may just be that they are busy at the moment

so you've had a reply and they won't accept you?

Could I suggest it was due to your standard of English? Did you get your application checked by someone who spoke English?

if you get a job as a research assistant your boss may allow you to register for a part-time PhD, which would take as long as a full time one in the US but you get paid a salary and pay taxes. HOwever, you would need a work permit etc etc.
Have you tried Commonwealth scholarships, with Kenya being ex-commonwealth?Other than that you'd be better off staying in the USA if you can't get one in the UK

you need a minimum of a 2ii to get onto a masters in the UK. However, you have mentioned some of the more prestigious unis so bear in mind that they will have more and possibly better applicants (higher than a 2ii) so also look at some slightly less prestigious unis

I totally agree. There's plenty of handsome actors out there. I'm rather loving Richard Armitage at the moment (Guy of Gisborne in Robin Hood on BBC). He was also the bloke who married the vicar of Dibley in the finale

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
